She took Yubo to 15-15 in the previous Final before losing the last 6 games. I don't think Yubo was confused.

ok, they changed it to the better if that's the case. in the final in april she had the handicap.
You're right. We'll see how she fares down the road. In the meantime, Final 16 this last time is hard for anyone to do.

I'm still trying to figure out how I feel handicaps - I find Skostokig's thoughts on them persuasive - but I doubt I will ever be hugely bothered by them.
That said, before this thread, I was only familiar with handicaps where one player had to win one (or more) fewer games to win the match. A handicap of balls rather than of games seems, ah, much worse.

L16 is very strong and shows her speed. iirc the women had two handicaps last time around, aside from the one discussed above they also didn't have a forceful break requirement. i would assume that one is still there, and if so i'm more ok with it (another option would be to have a forceful break requirement but let the ladies break a couple inches closer to the rack).
Tang was bustin' 'em strong in the match I watched. Maybe it's a requirement at the elite level too. You would think the rules could be easily found.
Girl is a beatress. She'll find ways to get it done.
